Forum:Why do I keep dropping my weapon?

NetHack 3.4.3 - Whenever I'm fighting a bunch of demons, why do I keep finding that after a while I'm fighting bare-handed and my weapon is on the floor?

Specifically, lawful horned devils; they start with a bullwhip and can use it to try to steal your weapon. - Andrio Celos (talk) 13:07, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
